Panicale, Italy is central to some impressive tourist destinations, including Perugia 34km to the northeast and Tuscany's Chiusi just 16 km to the west. It has breathtaking views over Lake Trasimeno to the north and easy access to Rome or Florence by car. Here you will also find accommodations, vacation rentals, condo rentals, villa rentals and apartment rentals.

It is a small town of great charm with the outermost houses following the line of the original walls and incorporate parts of the walls into their structures. Panicale still has two ancient gates and previously was surrounded by a moat. Two or three concentric streets spiral in to the Piazza Grande. Panicale has a population of 500 and can be entered through two gates: Porta Fiorentina, used when arriving from Florence and Porta Perugina used when arriving from Perugia. There are a total of seven churches, not all of them in use. The largest church, San Michele, is used on Sunday mornings for celebrating mass in Italian. The best starting point for visiting Panicale is the Church of Saint Sebastian which houses the very beautiful fresco of 'The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian' by Perugino.
